One two three , four . Hey , this is D-Night .
This is Carol , this is Ty .
And you're listening to the Pardon the Interaction podcast where apparently Donald Trump tuned in but didn't like what we have to say . I guess he was extremely disappointed that he wasn't getting any advice on how to actually pardon the insurrectionist . I don't know .
Sad , sad Sad .
Yeah , he left us a pretty , pretty terrible review . One star . But like , look , if you want to help balance out the ratings , you can go to pardon theinteractioncom . Leave us a review .
Wait , wait , wait , okay , wait , okay . A parody .
I was about to say I see what you did there , but then Ty was like I don't see what you did there , pretty much Anyway .
Yeah , you can head to pardontheinteractioncom .
Leave us a five star review . If you leave us anything less than five stars , I'm inclined to believe that you are a Republican .
Couldn't have anything to do with my lack of preparation and talent .
No , it's not you Totally certain of that , or drunk and co-host no look , okay , disclaimer before we even get started . I'm slightly , entirely . I'm less intoxicated .
I'm less intoxicated than I thought I would be as we're recording this podcast , because I , you know after , after , yeah , after a hard day of labor , I took the opportunity after work to waltz down to the restaurant bar and grabbed me a drink and the bartender made me like a triple .
It was like an old fashioned , but instead of like a single shot of Bert , or shot and a half , it was like three . So yeah , I was . I was quite shmammered , but for our pre-show meeting me Ty and Carol engaged in like a therapy session and then that gave me enough time to potentially sober up slightly .
You really do .
I feel like I look really pretty .
You're extraordinarily pretty , Ty .
I feel pretty today .
I like while you were saying that , you were like I'll .
The unfortunate issue with your degree of beauty this evening is that no one can see you , because this is audio for only format .
She looks very pretty .
But yes , for anyone , anyone who's wondering , ty's got her like . Her hair is down , it's extremely long and it's got like these soft curls and she's like brushing them as we speak . She's got a low cut top on .
It looks real happy .
Dipping down into her cleavage and my description of her , I've been getting a whole lot of dick .
Congratulations Ty . I've been getting no dick . Maybe I'm doing something wrong here . I'm not entirely sure All right , my ex's number .
I'm getting some , you know I don't know , dick , between those two .
Yeah , all right .
Ty , I'm not entirely sure we have the same taste in men . I want to pass on that opportunity to go , you know , clean up after your sloppy seconds . Anyway , we got a few .
What was that I said ? Are my sloppy 40 minutes or 40 ?
I don't know . We don't even say the number 45 .
No , I'll say 35 .
Yeah , there you go . No , we don't use that number either . That's , that's too close to remind me of how my ancestors were slave . I'm traumatized . You know , three fifths , that's how many . That's how much of a vote we got , although we didn't get it .
Anyway , there's no numbers , no numbers of any kind .
I'm sorry .
We have one sponsor and we should just mention him real quick .
Oh yeah , that's right . Sheets and giggles , Of course . If you're not familiar with sheets and giggles , they have the most incredible sheets , pillows , eye masks , mattresses , and I think he even got like some new flannel sheets for the holiday season on sale .
Send me a pillow , colin Colin .
Okay , carol , I'll tell Colin you need a fucking pillow , but yeah , he's listening .
Thanks , Colin , for listening . You're a great sponsor .
He does turn in every once in a while , but yeah , shootsadioscom the thought that he does is when it's going to be .
Just fuck her off the rails .
Absolutely so . Make sure , like it's the holiday season , check out sheetsandgigglescom . Like your family and friends deserve a wonderful night of sleep . Get them something good to enjoy a peaceful night of sleep with , from sheets and giggles . All right , so we've got a few headlines to cover here .
Hopefully we won't spend your entire holiday season with this one long , with this one podcast , although I'm sure we can make this thing 47 straight hours long with the amount of insanity it's been occurring in the political landscape . But where we're going to start off first is with the town hall that Trump attended .
That was hosted by Sean Hannity the past weekend , where Trump declared , after being asked numerous times by Sean Hannity whether or not he was going to be a dictator , the Trump said he was going to be a dictator on day one .
Only on day one , don't worry . Once he's taken care of everything in his agenda , he won't have to do anything else because he's already enforced his agenda so effectively and , as you guys recall from his presidency , he was often good at affecting his plans instead of just a .
Well , I mean , I guess what I'm trying to say is he had a great health plan and the infrastructure week was off the hook .
Yeah , we're still only two weeks away from getting his health care plan .
We partied like it was 1999 when he got the .
Anyway , that guy's going to be a dictator forever , until he dies , let's dick with a K ?
CK .
Yeah , hail Shetler , hail Shetler .
No .
I feel like it goes without saying that anyone that's running on a campaign platform of , yes , I'm going to be a dictator , but only for a day , is not only probably lying to you , but they must be fucking insane , because it's a democracy . Who's running on I'm going to end democracy .
And pogrom the half the population .
Oh man . Well you know , carol , you're Jewish . You have something to look forward to . You get to be interned in pogroms with the rest of the Jewish community .
Ty me and you I'm sure you that doesn't sound like something to look forward to at all .
Yeah , I'm not trying to be sucking dick for potatoes . Like how I envisioned my .
I thought you were going to say I got to be a model minority first .
Well , Ty , I don't think .
I don't think you they wouldn't .
Well , let's say hopefully you and I are black , so we're going to end up on the plantation . You don't have to worry about sucking dick for potatoes , because you're not going to get any potatoes afterward .
Oh , that's not fair .
It's unfortunate , yeah , but I feel like , just like it goes without saying . Just look , if anyone asked you if you're going to be a dictator and you're running for president , the clear and obvious and easy answer it's a layup . Should be no , I mean , I don't understand .
And then to like try and qualify Well , I'll only be a dictator for one day , it's like going to McDonald's and ordering a single French fry .
So that would be silly and dumb , but at least once you won't . That would be more like saying you're only going to eat one of like an extra large , and then you still are going to because that .
French fries cold . That's going to be the gag . Like it's not even a hot fry .
Oh , my God man , I just and look . It was funny because like over the course of the week the media went from like not really covering it at all , but apparently someone got the memo out like , hey man , if he wins , the first thing he's going to do is come after the media .
And you know , of course this is this is commentary from Steve Bannon and Casper tell themselves saying that you know , day one in office they're going after the media . Someone must have got the memo , have been obvious .
Like do they not realize their lives are at stake ?
Like no , Carol , they're going to be a farmer .
They think this is a fucking TV show , but someone must have got the memo , because I've been listening to a little bit of MSNBC , you know , over the course of the day , every day this week , in the last couple of days , they've been real heavy on Biden's . Economy is fucking booming , there's jobs everywhere . He's leading in the polls . It's incredible .
Like they've been , they've been kissing Biden's ass and I'm like , oh , they must realize Trump wins , they're going to die . The tune has changed .
They ain't talking about how you know , even like you remember a couple of weeks ago when we had those elections yeah , I know right , a couple of weeks ago , it's like an eternity in Trump years , we had those elections .
Republicans got their asses kicked all across the country and the first thing the media was doing , cnn in particular was was hopping on TV , stumbling all over themselves to tell you how Trump was leading in the polls and how , even though they were getting , republicans were getting smashed . It was bad for Joe Biden .
Like which polls ?
like they're like , oh well , the one the poll at the local piggly wiggly .
My point is is they were ignoring actual votes , showing Republicans getting hammered to like shove down our throats how the polls are bad for Biden . That has disappeared , at least on MSNBC . Yeah , they out here telling the truth .
Now I guess they've realized like they've done a fucking poor ass job over the past three years telling the public that the kind of job Biden is doing .
Are they're just getting enough ratings off of the Israel Palestine war ? No , I don't think that's I mean , yeah , maybe you're right , or maybe they're just . They got their own shit going on right now .
That's not the story .
I think they've just realized , a number of people have realized hey , they're going to wake up one day in 2025 , trump's president and the fucking you know park police or I don't know whatever fucking government agency Trump wants to use the HS . It's kicking down the door 30 rocking dragon asses out of there and locking them up . Yeah .
So now they're trying to make up for a missed opportunity by finally telling you the truth about the state of the country .
And I hope you're right . I mean , I don't doubt that it's been happening the last several days , but I hope you're .
I feel like if I could pinpoint a day , I would say it was Tuesday when I was listening to Chris Hayes' show and he was like Trump is up in the poll . I mean , biden is leading Trump in the polls and the media is not talking about it Like you're the media but you're finally doing your job . Great job . At least you , the one guy who's like .
And now everyone on MSNBC has changed their tune . It's fucking incredible . If you're listening to this podcast I don't know how much MSNBC you watch , but like , if you do , you know exactly what I'm talking about You're like . You probably realize that the changing tune yourself . But yeah , man , like just Trump should be disqualified from running for office .
This isn't fucking difficult . Like no one should be running on a platform of being a dictator . I just think anyway .
They could release me from prison so I can go to my inauguration and then start executing people .
Yeah , look , we're laughing about this . But if Trump wins , he literally is going to kill us all .
So House Speaker , he may have to be released from prison for his inauguration . Let's not forget that part . See your laugh , I'll get a laugh about that when I'm being dragged away .
Okay , you're making a joke , but Trump's literal only way of staying out of prison at this point is to win in 2024 . But if he does win , he ain't going to prison , or if he's in prison , he's getting out . They're not going to lock up the president of the United States , sadly , unfortunately not in federal prison anyway . And I guess there's like a .
Considering the way the supremacy clause of the Constitution is worded , it's entirely possible that states don't have the ability to incarcerate a president either . Let's just save ourselves from that fucking headache and vote for Joe Biden . Make sure he wins in 2024 . All right , moving on . And it's .
This is insane , because I'm normally the person pointing out how the media , like they , they note this insane shit and just move on from it Like it's totally normal on to like cats or whatever the fucking story of the day is . And we're doing the same thing , fucking here . But at least I'm telling you it's insane . All right , moving on .
House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that he'll be releasing sensitive footage of the Capitol on one six during the insurrection , but he'll be blurring the faces of participants in order to prevent them from being prosecuted by the FBI . Ty , why the fuck is Mike Johnson blurring the faces of people who attacked the Capitol .
Go Well , it probably includes his own being that . He's a fucking insurrectionist .
You know it's , it's as a professional courtesy .
You know , basically basically he's like I'm gonna blur the faces of half of Congress or at least professional courtesy . Yeah , I mean he is the speaker , you know . I mean it's only the right thing to do , I guess . Yeah .
If you're unaware of Mike Johnson's role at one six , he was one of the individuals in Congress who spearheaded the effort to present some amicus brief . Is that how you say it , amicus brief ? Yeah , I know some people like to say it amicus , I'm a amicus guy .
Well , that's what Powell says , and so anything she says , I'm going the opposite direction , all right , amicus brief to the court suggesting that the 2020 election was rigged and arguing in favor of anyway . So he's one of the fucking fake elector dudes in Congress who helped orchestrate that plot as well . I engage in a little exercise on Twitter .
I guess it's no longer Twitter , but , like you know , again , it's gonna always be Twitter in my heart . That's how I will forever remember it . We can call it Twix if you want to . That's like . That's the way I like to do it . I'm left Twix , oh no .
Anyway , so I'm engaged in this little exercise on the Twix , where I was asking Republicans that specifically , the MAGA types to explain to me who it is that attacked the Capitol on January 6th and why a Republican speaker of the House is blurring out their faces and let me tell you they ain't got no fucking answers .
I don't know . I guess we're going to have to wait and not see what's on that .
Oh , we're going to not see it . Huh , Is that a little joke about our upcoming dictatorship ?
No , no , I was just mad because their faces would be blurred out . But they , yeah , I'm sure you'll still see their , not .
Mike Johnson wants us to not see their faces .
They want to not see their . Yeah , oh man .
Hail Shiller ? No , but like it was really funny trying to watch people twist themselves into knots to explain how the people who attacked the Capitol on January 6th were in Trump supporters , but also while Mike Johnson was trying to blur their faces to save them from being prosecuted by the FBI . You know , also get another side note , like isn't .
Isn't that the very definition of giving aid and comfort to insurrectionists ? I don't know .
Plus , maybe they're putting all those people up for some sort of you know primary suit We'll get to that . Candidates directly from that .
They don't want Mike Johnson doesn't want you to know who's running for Congress at 2024 .
Yeah , I don't know what the and if Donald J Trump ends up in jail and they can't run in the primaries ? Maybe that's there . Just the future president could be in that crowd .
Oh well , that's true .
The future , yeah , the future 2028 is going to be wild .
Yeah Well , you know , sadly , he's only only going to be like president for a minute , and then he'll be dictator for a day , and then he'll be a king for the rest of his life , which I hope will be short , should he somehow manage to win .
I feel like he should be reunited with all of his favorite people , including Rush Limbaugh , Pat Robertson , Jeffrey Epstein , Jeffrey Epstein and his first wife Just as friends , you know , just as friends and accomplices .
That's all we mean .
Do you think Trump was a big Henry Kissinger fan ? Because ?
that was like . Well he is . Now that somebody told him that Kissinger and crayon was , you know , a genocidal maniac who killed people's people of color .
I feel like now that he's like he was the one person in like all of like I don't want to say pop culture , but American culture that everyone was like crossing their fingers and waiting on a die . Of course he lasted a long ass time . But like now that that dude is gone , like who is taking his spot ?
Like what is like the person we're all collectively looking around like wondering , like damn , he ain't dead yet . It's got to be Trump , right .
Rush Limbaugh still alive .
No , he's burning in hell as we speak .
So who's the other guy I thought was dead ?
The one we thought with Newt Gingrich yeah .
I know , no , that , remember . Mike Pence is calling him . You know , weeks before January 6th we been like hey man , are you sure I can't overthrow the democracy ?
Well , that was like five people , though he literally went through his speed dial . He called everybody , everybody , everybody , like literally .
I mean that is a pretty good reminder that , like Mike Pence , I had a question for you . What up yo ? Oh yeah , he was asking them like yeah , this is a perfect reminder that Mike Pence is no hero , and all of this Like he .
Of course , he did show up in January 6th to do the right thing , but does that constantly remind people that's the bare minimum requirements of the job ? Don't overthrow the fucking democracy . Like it's not that hard .
He showed up after asking everyone he knew like to . You know , justify his .
Give him some kind of out that he could do it .
Yeah , and everybody was like no . And then secretly he was like well then , if I can't help overthrow our democracy , I'm going to just not go and let everybody else do it .
Yeah , he's such a fucking whip .
All right , then yeah .
So you think he really was planning not to be there and it wasn't that they were planning to remove him from the premises because he wrote .
He is actually planning on not going and then , supposedly over dinner with the son . You know , son served in the military and his son convinced him , you know , over the course of the dinner , like , hey , you know , we took the same oath to serve our country and the Constitution . You got to go do your fucking job .
Now , of course , like these notes that Mike Pence took a contemporary contemporaneously , I'm sure were written with like forward looking , with the idea that they might someday be made public . So I'm sure he wrote it in like the best possible light . But yeah , son , telling the main man , stop being a bitch .
It seems to be the impetus for him showing up on January 6th to certify Biden's election . Now , granted , again , we was all looking around on January 5th when Chuck Grassley was like what's the fucking thing on B here ? Right , we was like to do , we was like the meme with the black dude and he like looks to the side , what is he ?
was agreed to not be there , and when he showed up they tried to make him not there again .
Exactly , yes , yeah , that's . That's that makes like that whole tweet from Trump about how Mike , how Mike Pence doesn't have the courage to do what should be done . Even more incriminating even the Pence wasn't supposed to be there in all the Republicans knew it . Well yeah yeah , this podcast is going to be 14 hours , so we're moving on .
Kevin McCarthy , former House Speaker , and also Kevin McCarthy , former defense against the dark arts teacher .
The almost former congressman .
No , he's . He's now currently a former congressman because he announced his resignation saying that he was going to retire from the end at the end of the year . Piece to fuck out .
He retired before the like the term what ?
I guess I can finally put on my head a lettuce out now .
Well they will . He was the termans next year , but yeah , so he's . He's out . Whoop-de-doo , boo-hoo , like no one shedding a tear over Kevin McCarthy leaving Congress .
What piece of shit rises up in his place , what , what , which turned floats to the top of the toilet ? That is his district .
You know what ? I don't even know . So , Ty , as you're drinking your tequila there , do you know whether or not Gavin Newsom is going to hold a special election in California for his district ? I do .
I didn't do the last time for a while .
OK .
I don't know . I haven't heard any like murmurings about it really .
But so I I forget what the time frames were , but I was reading that there are . I think the rules by which he has to call the special election , and it has to be within a certain , a certain time frame . But they may be able to delay it as far as like to align with the March primaries they're going to be having in California .
I think there was a deadline . If Kevin McCarthy retired before that , newsom had to call a special election . But if it was after that deadline , then Newsom had the option to let the seat remain vacant until 2024 or call for a special election . I'm sorry , look , this is my fault . I should have just been more prepared . I should have looked that up .
I knew we were going to talk about this , I just been busy , if you don't know . So the , the , my , my day job is a very seasonal oriented in , in the sense that it's super busy for fuck and Christmas . So I haven't had like the opportunity to . I've just been busy .
So yeah , I'm not quite as up to snuff on the minor details as I would be otherwise , but yeah , he's gone , I assume if they do hold a special election in McCarthy's district I mean , who knows how they turn out it's been a couple you know 100 , 100 million dollars trying to replace that seat between House Republicans and House Democrats , because again , the
majority of slim , with him gone and Santos gone and a number of other retirements , the GOP majority is at two seats and I feel like all we need is a couple more in diamonds from Jack Smith's office If we can get our fucking majority back , kids .
What's his name ? Ben Johnson is leaving to head some organization . Patrick Mahenry .
Yeah , all them dudes .
He's not coming back and Marjorie Taylor Granger hopes no one dies . So there we are .
Well , I don't want anyone to die , I just want them to go to jail . In a side note , it also appears that the House Ethics Committee , run by the Republicans , is going to drop some sort of report about our Florida representative , matt Gaetz , and in his horn mongering with underage youths .
I think that's not the word called horn mongering , that is statutory rape we are raping , while child sex trafficking is the oh , yeah , yeah , I won't you write because , yes , they were crossing state lines in order to drop .
Yeah , so apparently whatever witness that was not engaging in cooperative talks with federal investigators has made their testimony available for the House Ethics Committee , which you know .
I feel like if you just want to go way off into reckless speculation land , it makes it sound like Republicans were freezing this person out , making sure they didn't testify to the feds , and now that they've turned on Matt Gaetz , they're like all right , pressure's off , you can come in and talk very , very strange .
Anyway , yeah , if Matt Gaetz is gone , that'll , that'll shrink their house majority to one , and then you know we don't . And then , we only need , like you know , some unfortunate accident to happen in . Democrats have control of the house .
Well , is there any way we can politicize , like bike helmets and seat belts ?
See , you're making a joke , but COVID is still with us , if you don't know , and I do . All right , look , sad moment . So one of my Twitter friends I'm not sure if either of you were following her , but what is it At Wifey Spice 90 . Sound familiar to you guys ?
I saw , I saw the poster .
No , I didn't . Yeah , I was following her , following her .
Yeah , maggie is her name . I think her handles it Wifey Spice 90 . Something like that no longer with us , thanks to the fucking COVID . Oh yeah , so .
I mean . So sorry to hear that .
Yeah , it's not great , real damn moment . I liked her . She was very friendly and funny and just fucking unfortunate . But I mean , look , you know , covid's some real shit , even if you're vaccinated , I guess it's . Again , it's not a 100 percent guarantee that you won't suffer any severe side effects from covid , but you got a better shot than if not .
And I guess the only good news I can point out from that is a majority of Republicans are the ones who are vaccinated and aren't up to date on their booster shot .
So anything could happen , although I feel like Republican members of Congress their mother fuckers are getting like all kinds of secret fucking covid booster shots that ain't nobody ever heard of before , just like Trump got the covid shot before he left office and didn't tell anyone .
Well , because he didn't want to . I don't know why did he want not people not to think he was taking preferential treatment ?
No , I think he wanted to like continue presenting the facade that Iver Mectin was the cure for covid .
I've got it .
Oh , and hydroxychloroquine , or whatever you know .
Bleach . It kills everything , including covid .
And every , every so often I think about and look , there's been a look , endless crazy shit . That's that's occurred over the course of the past few years , I mean ever since Trump was elected in the office .
One thing I regularly go back to because it's just in my mind and it's like it just highlights the insanity of the Republican Party as it currently exists , and it's that elderly couple where they , the couple , looked at the ingredients of the fish tank cleaner and saw the hydroxychloroquine was an ingredient and they were like , oh , this is what Trump's been talking
about , let's go ahead and take it . And then the one the lady ended up in the hospital and her husband ended up dying .
And your clerk when I was . That's the malaria medication .
Yes . But , in this case it wasn't medicinal hydroxychloroquine , it was like some compound included in the in the fish tank cleaner to make it more effective and they just , they just ate the fish tank cleaner . Yeah , dark moment .
But I think about it regularly because I'm like this is like the most ironic twist to drinking the Kool-Aid that I've ever fucking seen in my life Hydroxychloroquine flavored Kool-Aid Well , I guess in this case , fish tank flavored Kool-Aid .
